Remington’s investigation determined that some XMP triggers might have excess bonding agent used in the assembly process, which could cause an unintentional discharge. Therefore, Remington is recalling ALL affected products to fully inspect and clean the XMP triggers with a specialized process. Remington has advised customers to immediately cease use of recalled rifles and return them to Remington free of charge. The rifles will be inspected, specialty cleaned, tested, and returned as soon as possible. Do not attempt to diagnose or repair recalled rifles. Remington established a dedicated website and toll-free hotline to help consumers determine whether their Model 700 or Model Seven rifle(s) are subject to recall:

“We’re putting our customers and their safety first by voluntarily recalling all potentially affected rifles. We also want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety,” Novin concluded.

The Ten Commandments of Firearms Safety

1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

2. Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in use.

4. Be sure of your target and what's beyond it.

5. Use proper ammunition.

7. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.

9. Don't alter or modify your gun and have it serviced regularly.

Remington is informing consumers through a broad range of communications channels, including media outreach, targeted advertising and digital media.
